    Lab Testing

                 This diagram shows why your lab tests are
                        “normal” but you still feel sick:



     abnormal     functional         functional           functional     abnormal
    low values   low values         lab ranges           high values    high values




            In these lab tests you will see lab findings that a doctor will
                        say are “normal” but they are not!
+ Nutritional remedies are superior medicines!
  The intestines absorb foods and store waste.

Code of Honor
           by Van Merkle DC


IT IS WITH GREAT HONOR, AN AWESOME
responsibility…humbling when a patient comes to me. I am
truly honored that they have come. I must do my best to
deserve this honor each time I see them and in everything I
do for them, for they have entrusted me with their most
valuable possession – their health or their child’s health. I
will not, I must not be distracted in my consultations, reports
or duty to them. I will not order one test or recommend one
vitamin more than is necessary. But neither shall I shirk
from my duty to tell the truth and recommend what I know,
to the best of my ability, and what is required to help them
achieve their goals in health. For without health, how can
one fulfill their optimum potential or purpose in life?

Editor's Notes

  1. How can an ailment as simple as diarrhea remain a mystery to the allopathic profession. There isn’t a holistic approach that doesn’t understand it and cure it routinely. Naturopathy, chiropractic, orthodox, acupuncture, homeopathy, nutrition, body therapies, talk therapies, movement therapies
  2. CRONHN’S: also known as regional enteritis, is a type of inflammatory bowel disease that may affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract from mouth to anus, CLICK NOW TO SHOWCELIAC: Coeliac disease is caused by a reaction to gliadin, a prolamin (gluten protein) found in wheat, and includes other common grains such as barley and rye). CLICK NOW TO SHOW
  3. Several conditions may present as IBS including coeliac disease, fructose malabsorption,[5] mild infections, parasitic infections like giardiasis,[6] several inflammatory bowel diseases, bile acid malabsorption, functional chronic constipation, and chronic functional abdominal pain.
  4. No one needs to be told to stop any medications or treatments. When they begin to feel better they will want to stop them, all on their own and with their doctors’ advice.
  5. Talk now about the 45 year old woman, working, lonely, IBS for several years. Drinks wine, smokes with friends. CLICK NOW
  6. Probioticscan be beneficial in the treatment of IBS, taking 10 billion to 100 billion beneficial bacteria per day is recommended for beneficial results. However, further research is needed on individual strains of beneficial bacteria for more refined recommendations.[70][100] A number of probiotics have been found to be effective including: Lactobacillus plantarum[101] and Bifidobacteriainfantis;[102] however, one review found that only Bifidobacteriainfantis showed efficacy.[103] Some yogurt is made using probiotics that may help ease symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.[104]
  7. Peppermint oil: Enteric coated peppermint oil capsules have been suggested for IBS symptoms in adults and children.[105] There is evidence of a beneficial effect of these capsules and it is recommended that peppermint be trialed in all irritable bowel syndrome patients.[106][70] Safety during pregnancy has not been established however and caution is required not to chew or break the enteric coating otherwise gastroesophageal reflux may occur as a result of lower esophageal sphincter relaxation. Occasionally nausea and perianal burning occur as side effects.[70]Iberogast: The multi-herbal extract Iberogast was found to be significantly superior to placebo via both an abdominal pain scale and an IBS symptom score after four weeks of treatment.,[107][108]Cannabis[109]Kiwifruit IBS/C [110]Commiphora mukul[111]Plantago ovata[111]
  8. It’s important when going over your lab tests that you don’t fixate on just one or two particularly annoying symptoms, and then choosing nutrients to deal with them and end up ignoring the big picture. It’s called the Back-To-Basics philosophy of holistic, alternative care. The liver cells perform 500 chemical functions. When many of those functions that were not performing properly, due to vitamin, mineral and enzyme deficiencies, and also because of interference by heavy metals and free radicals, the body will begin to heal itself in miraculous ways. It’s covering the bottom line. This bottom line is all too often ignored. True Naturopathic cures lie in understanding what is causing the deepest malfunctions -- getting to the bottom of things.
